6. Estimate systolic pressure by palpating the radial pulse and inflating the cuff accordingly.
7. Prepare your stethoscope by placing earpieces correctly and positioning it over the brachial artery.
8. Inflate and deflate the cuff at a steady rate while identifying Korotkoff sounds for accurate readings.
9. Record all measurements including systolic and diastolic pressures, cuff size, and patient position.
